Rumaka galloped out of his healing tank and was met with the synthetic environment that was the Hub. He had been in a state of unconscious regeneration for what felt like an era. He decided to wander around, something he hadn't done since the day he met the sadistic plant bitch. He nearly cursed out loud just thinking about that one. He wondered how his comrades were doing. He had seen Cerataurus fighting that flaming frog, but where was Xena...?
His thoughts during this expedition were once again interrupted by another kaiju.
"It appears I've got a knack for being interrupted..." The winged equine huffed, as he turned to face the new arrival...

This new arrival, however, was far smaller than Rumaka was, though was likewise winged. It looked like a man, or a woman, Rumaka was uncertain, with large feathery wings from his back, and bluish white robes. The tall humanoid figure looked up at the equine, its azure eyes half closed. "Pardon me for the intrusion. You see, I am new here, and am rather lost. Do you happen to know of a certain young lady by the name of Persephone?" the figure asked, wings rustling...

"The…Persephone, as in…the Hellian Queen? I've heard much about her, but never met her in person." The pegasus ruffled his feathery wings and began to pace around. "Wouldn't want to either, she's obviously got her own ulterior motive." The equine continued walking about, then suddenly recalled the brief and, for some reason, uninterrupted skirmish that he, Cerataurus, and Behemoth had with Tenshi's spoiled ass. "Met one of her minions, though, an arrogant, spoiled little entity known as Tenshi. She was powerful, but much too proud for her own good. Behemoth handled her quite nicely, his terrakinesis easily outmatched hers." The equine made a chuckling noise just thinking about that one. "Point is, if you've got business with Persephone, I'd advise you to be careful, but I won't stop you."

The winged figure perked up at the mention of Tenshi. "So the celestial is here as well. That is quite interesting. Well, I am sure I will be dealing with her well enough. After all, I only had to change her diaper so many times." The angelic figure said, a slight chuckle spreading on his face.

"Your demeanor surprises me, you're one of the few here in this fighting league that seems to be dealing with the Hellians in any sort of… lightheaded manner." The equine chuckles, but his demeanor suddenly became much more stern, a concerned edge lining his face, "I definitely think you should handle a matter such as the Ruler of Hell more seriously, she's very strategic, cunning. I advise you to take caution, even with your…connections."

"Thank you for your concern, horse. I know my own niece can be... a handful with her ego and connections, but I think I will manage. That said, I do wonder who you are? It's rare to see a face like yours at a galactic arena like this..."

"My name is Rumaka. You could say that that is my identity, but I don't know who I am, if you can understand what I mean." The equine huffed, in a somber tone. "I know nothing of my origin, you could call me a wanderer. Make that former wanderer. I was until I ended up here."
(Rumaka does have a history, but I'm planning for him to find that out later.)

"Very interesting." The angel said, its voice neither male or female. To Rumaka, it seemed a bit of both, like its appearance. "Being a wanderer has its advantages. You get to go places, meet people, and learn customs and cultures the likes of which you've never seen before. But I am being rude. My name is Sariel, I am an Archangel, one of the last of my kind, and you could say, co-ruler of the demon realm of Makai."

"Glad to have made your acquaintance, Sariel." The equine whinnied. His guard was still up, as he did not yet know of the archangel's true motives. "And yes... the lifestyle I once led did indeed have its advantages, but the constant movement required for an unending quest to find your true purpose in life didn't exactly lend to having any stable friendships. A quest for the answers in a person's life was best undertaken alone." The equine's stoic and somber tone did not fade. "But isolation in this inter dimensional fighting league is not a blessing, nor is it a curse..."

Sariel bowed to the equine. "Places like this... we had one in Makai a while back. The demons there, they enjoyed watching gladiators tear into one another, and would laugh and say, "We are above such brutality". Pure hypocrisy, if you ask me. Barbarism is what it is, this kind of life."

"This horrible dank pit is more cruel than anything you could ever imagine. My kin, kaiju, as our captors call us, are tortured daily." The equine relayed this message as a neural wave, an echo in the archangel's mind. "They force us to fight to near death, destroying us both mentally and physically until our minds are decimated, broken LONG beyond sanity." The flame in the alicorn's heart blazed strongly, so much so that Sariel could feel literal head emanating from the photokinetic pegasus. "What all of us feel, every day..."
The equine stepped back, chuckling once more.
"Is worse than anything any pain that is possible in your literal dimension of Hell."

"I wouldn't be too sure." Sariel said as he stepped around the equine, slow and deliberate steps to emphasis what he was saying. It disgusts me really... Makai was designed for the elite and aristocracy, those who had gone beyond their primitive, evil natures and had become civilized. To see those created for us to lord over entertain themselves with such acts of barbarism... the hypocrisy of it all is not lost with me."
"And yet, for a place like this, atleast there are respites between the battles. Atleast... you can forge alliances if you truly wish."

"So you have suffered just as much as my brethren. Your will has been shattered, just as the wills of my comrades and kin." The photokinetic pegasus brayed, a twinge of sorrow lining both his facial expression and the sound of his telepathic voice, the jolt of brain waves shocking the mind of the co-ruler of Makai Who said partner was did not concern the equine, the brusque beast knowing at least that.. He looked the archangel directly in the eyes. "I apologize for my lack of tact. Born...or created in isolation you know. Learned to communicate here." The equine bound his head in respect towards Sariel, now knowing how much pain he had endured. "All I've ever seen was my home forest... as well as the suffering of my fellow kaiju."

"I wish that were the end of the suffering for those me and my sister rule over... I really do." Sariel said, his head lowered with a sigh. "But, atleast you can avoid the tribulations I have had to deal with... you are a unique creature, Rumaka... there is nothing quite like you in all of creation. You fellow kaiju... their suffering is only for a while. They are not cursed with the woes and trials I have had to deal with... a curse descended from the Three... A curse that started with the Malvuor."

The equine leapt back at the mention of the word 'Maluvor.' He had heard Zekshi and Omnadon speak that same word...
And now Sariel had mentioned them. In a much darker light.
'Our revolutionary backers... What the hell should I do now?' The equine pondered frenetically.
Stepping back in a rather futile attempt to regain his composure, he cleared his throat, striking the archangel with another message.
"Does the name Zekshi mean anything to you?"
